§ 3 Conclusion of this contract(1) The product presentation of the Vendor on the internet is not legally binding and does not present theconclusion of any contract.(2) The Client can submit a legal binding purchase offer using the online shopping basket system.

Once the Client clicks on the button “Confirm Purchase”, the order becomes legallybinding between the Client and the Vendor. The Client receives an automatic email confirming that theorder has been received, which does not yet lead to the contract being concluded.(3) When the offer has been accepted (and thus also the contract has been concluded), it is confirmedeither in writing (e.g. by email), in which the Client is informed that the order is being processed ordelivered, or when the goods are sent out by the Vendor.

In these cases, any already renderedservices are to be reimbursed immediately.(4) Any requests made by the Client about purchasing articles or asking for individual price offers institutedby telephone, email or in writing to the Vendor, but not within the online shopping basket system are nonbindingfor the Client. The Vendor will then make the Client a written offer (e.g. per email) which is thenlegally binding and may be accepted by the Client within five days.(5) The processing of the order and the forwarding of all necessary information for the conclusion of thiscontract are sent partly automatically per email.

This choice of law applies to consumers only to the extent that any grantedmandatory protection in the country in which the consumer resides has not been withdrawn (FavourabilityPrinciple).(2) Place of Fulfilment for all services provided by the Vendor in the existing commercial relationship, aswell as the area of jurisdiction, is the Vendor’s place of registered office, as long as the Client is a consumerand not a Trader, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law.The same applies in cases where the Client does not have a general area of jurisdiction in India, or in caseswhere the Client’s place of residence is unknown at the time of the institution of proceedings. The capacityto appeal to another court of jurisdiction remains thereby unaffected.(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods do not apply hereand are expressly excluded.
